PNF Method—Mainly for Walking Exercise—

Abstract

Reeducation of walking is given by graded and guided tasks in motor learning. Method of efficient motor learning is resistive exercise, because resistance stimulates receptor of deep sensation easily. The causes of pathological walking are poor movements of the pelvis. I explain hoe to facilitate good movement of the pelvis in PNF method. In addition, I explain the relationship between movements of pelvis and walking exercise. © 2002, The Society of Physical Therapy Science. All rights reserved.
